This 132‑hectare green sanctuary on the edge of Saskatoon was created in 1972 to honor the eponymous conservationist. This semi‑wild preserve is home to dozens of tree species and provides habitat for more than 60 at risk species, making it both a recreational retreat and an ecological treasure. You can explore trails maintained by local cycling groups, enjoy benches and bird feeders installed by community volunteers, and take part in year‑round programs that highlight the area’s biodiversity. Open to hiking, cycling, snowshoeing, and cross‑country skiing, the afforestation area offers a rare chance to experience prairie woodland throughout the entire year.
